Comment 6 for bug 1866625

It should indeed be done like this:

 import gi
 gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
 from gi.repository import Gtk

 from gi.repository import GObject

 mystore = Gtk.ListStore(GObject.TYPE_UINT64)
 mystore.insert_with_valuesv(-1, [1], [GObject.Value(GObject.TYPE_UINT64, 1330400507426)])

###

I was completely unaware of that possibility because the source of my GTK knowlege is

https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/#Gtk-3.0/classes/ListStore.html#Gtk.ListStore.set_column_types

When checking out the available types one ends up here:

https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/#GObject-2.0/classes/GType.html#GObject.GType

Which does not ring any bell ...

So I did it like in

https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/treeview.html#the-model

where the Python types are used.

###

With the knowlege I gained through this FR it was possible to find this:

GObject Built-in Type Constants
The Built-in Type constants specify the pre-defined types used by gobject.

https://developer.gnome.org/pygobject/stable/gobject-constants.html#gobject-type-constants

which is quite useful.

Thanks!
